"The Look"

The "Vader Unmasked" look has been the inspiration for many people, including some of Hollywood's elite.

With his sleek bald head, sunken eyes, and bohemian scarring, Sebastian Shaw set the pace for a string of look-alike wanna-bes.

Billy Corrigan - Singer of The Smashing Pumpkins
Billy had hair at one time.  Smashing pumpkins had a hit with 1979, and they were going to follow it up with another tune called 1983.  Instead, Billy adopted 'The Look'.

He's a little light on the scar tissue.  But give him time.

Guild Navigator - DUNE (1984)
The Sebastian Shaw spice must flow!  David Lynch was obviously inspired by Shaw when he created the look for the Guild Navigator. Earlier in the movie, the Navigator's head is fine, but as he becomes starved for spice, his head splits, creating a nasty old Shaw-type scar.

To be honest, though, Lucas has ripped off Dune many more times than Dune has ripped off Star Wars. But that's a different subject.

Seal - Pop singer
Seal's press agents will blame his scars on so-called "discoid lupus"  But anyone who has met the guy knows that he loves to quote Anakin's lines at parties.

I mean, really.  Bald head + Scars = "The Look"

Humpty Dumpty
Rosy cheeks, pursed kips, bald head, and even a scar-like wisp of hair! 

It doesn't take all of the King's horses to convince me  that Humpty Dumpty is a big fan of Sebastian Shaw.
